Mrlibrayman, I am so impressed with your knowledge! You add to my inadequate repertoire & make me want to learn more! You have a gift & I thank you for sharing it!!
One of the things I love about art, and receiving comments here, is the speculation. Royal or commoner? My guess is commoner, probably a well to do merchants daughter. The feather she is holding was used as a symbol of virtue. It is the 17th century version of a photo, though in my opinion far more elegant than a photo. I am so pleased you enjoyed the picture. It even had you puzzling over it after you had completed the puzzle! LOL :-)
I wonder if this demure young girl is from a royal family or is her dress what, perhaps, girls from well-to-do families wear? Thanks, mrlibrayman, for another good puzzle!
